Enable Social Post Automation
To begin automating posts:
1. Log in to your dashboard
2. Click Social Posts in the left-hand menu
3. Toggle Automation On
Once automation is enabled, you can choose what type of content should be posted and when posts should be published.
Choose Post Topics
If you enable Library Content, you can choose the topics you want posts to be created from.
Topics include both broad lifestyle topics and product-specific topics.
Broad topics such as Health and Wellness, Retirement, and Lifestyle typically include more posts, so we recommend selecting a few broad topics along with any product-specific topics that apply to your business.
Set Your Posting Schedule
Next, choose when your posts should be published.
You can schedule posts on up to three different days each week.
For each day, select the time you would like posts to be published.
Once scheduled, posts will automatically be published on those days and times.
Enable Holiday Posts
You can also choose to include holiday-related posts.
When Holiday Posts is enabled, you can select the holidays you want posts to be created for.
Simply click the holidays you would like included in your schedule.
Posts will automatically be scheduled around the holidays you select.
Share Blog Posts to Social Media
If you enable Website Blog, the weekly blog posts published to your website by AgentMethods will automatically be shared to your connected social media accounts.
This helps promote new content on your website and keeps your social media accounts active.
When you are finished configuring your settings, click Save.
Your social media posts will now be published automatically based on your schedule and topic selections.
You can also create your own social media posts at any time.
